Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using WipeChat ("Wipe", the "Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree, you must not use the Service.
Eligibility
You must be at least the age of digital consent in your jurisdiction (and in any case at least 13 years old) to use WipeChat. By using the Service you represent that you meet these requirements and that you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms.
App-Generated Identifier
On first installation, the app generates a random, app-specific UUID on your device. This identifier is used only for internal functions such as referral validation, abuse prevention, notification routing, and basic security. It does not personally identify you and is not linked to your phone number, email address, or real identity, as described in our Privacy Policy.
Push Notifications
The Service may deliver push notifications through Firebase Cloud Messaging. Notification delivery depends on your device, operating system settings, and network conditions, and cannot be guaranteed. You may disable notifications at any time in your device settings; doing so may affect message delivery alerts.
Referral System
WipeChat may offer a referral program. You agree not to manipulate, automate, or abuse the referral system, including through self-referrals, duplicate installations, emulators, bots, or fraudulent activity. We may withhold, revoke, or adjust referral rewards, and may modify or discontinue the program at any time, where we reasonably determine that these Terms have been violated.
Walkie-Talkie Voice
The Walkie-Talkie feature transmits live voice in real time between participants and requires microphone permission. Voice is not permanently recorded by WipeChat and is not stored on our servers. You are responsible for obtaining any consent required by applicable law before initiating voice communication.
QR Code Scanning and Login
Certain features, such as pairing or session login, may use QR codes. Camera permission is used only for scanning QR codes; the app does not record photos or videos. You are responsible for keeping QR codes and pairing sessions confidential, as scanning or sharing a code may grant access to a session.
Screenshot and Screen Recording Protection
WipeChat implements screenshot detection and screen recording protection where technically supported by the device and operating system. These protections are provided on a best-effort basis and cannot be guaranteed on every device. You acknowledge that recipients may capture content through other means, and that WipeChat is not liable for such capture.
Crash Reporting and Service Improvements
The Service uses Firebase Crashlytics to collect technical crash diagnostics such as app version, operating system version, and crash stack traces. This data is used only to improve stability and does not include chat contents or encryption keys. We may use aggregated technical diagnostics to improve performance, reliability, and security.
Security Updates
We may release updates that address security vulnerabilities, improve encryption, or maintain compatibility. You are responsible for installing available updates. We may limit or discontinue support for outdated versions where continued operation would create a security risk.
Abuse Prevention
To protect users and the integrity of the Service, we may apply automated and manual abuse-prevention measures, including rate limiting, spam detection, referral-fraud checks, and restriction of access associated with an app-generated identifier. These measures operate on technical metadata only and do not involve access to message contents.
User Responsibilities
- You are responsible for safeguarding your device and app access.
- You are solely responsible for the content you send, share, or store.
- You will comply with all applicable laws and regulations.
Acceptable Use
WipeChat is designed for private, lawful communication between individuals. You agree to use the Service respectfully and only for purposes that comply with these Terms and applicable law.
Prohibited Activities
You must not use WipeChat for:
- Fraud
- Scams
- Terrorism or incitement to violence
- Malware, viruses, or malicious code
- Spam or unsolicited bulk communications
- Harassment, threats, or hate speech
- Identity theft or impersonation
- Child exploitation or CSAM in any form
- Distribution of illegal content
- Referral fraud or reward manipulation
- Reverse engineering or circumventing security controls
- Any other unlawful activity
You are solely responsible for your actions while using the Service. Any misuse is the sole responsibility of the user engaged in that conduct.
Privacy
Your use of the Service is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which describes the limited technical information we process and the information we never collect.
Premium Features & Prepaid Access
Certain features (such as Wipe Pro) are offered as fixed-term prepaid upgrades (e.g., 30-day or 365-day access passes) via direct Peer-to-Peer UPI. There are no recurring auto-debits or automatic subscription renewals; your premium access automatically expires at the exact end of your purchased duration. All payments are final and strictly non-refundable. Because WipeChat operates on a zero-log, anonymous architecture where premium status is tied to your local device storage, clearing app data, using "Reset Identity," or uninstalling the application will permanently erase your active plan without refund or restoration.
Intellectual Property
WipeChat, its logos, designs, and software are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by intellectual-property laws. You retain ownership of the content you create; you grant us only the limited rights necessary to deliver the Service (for example, relaying your encrypted message to its recipient).
Disclaimer
The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components.
Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, WipeChat and its developers shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenues, data, or goodwill arising out of or related to your use of the Service. In particular, WipeChat and its developers are not responsible for damages resulting from unlawful or unauthorized use of the platform by users.
Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the WipeChat operator is established, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Where mandatory consumer-protection laws apply, those laws continue to protect you.
Changes to Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be indicated on this page. Your continued use of the Service after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
